Worksport Granted $1.15M from Canadian Federal Government Partner, MITACS
August 04 2022 - 8:00AM
Worksport Ltd
(Nasdaq:
WKSP) (the “Company”), through its subsidiary Terravis
Energy Inc., has been granted $1.15 Million in matched funding from
MITACS, the Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex
Systems nonprofit Canadian national research organization, in
partnership with the Canadian Federal government.
The grant proposal was drafted by the Company
and Prof. Sheldon Williamson and his research team at Ontario Tech
University (OTU), and was peer-reviewed by technical experts from
around the world in the fields of transportation electrification,
power conversion systems, material characterization and hydrogen
fuel cell construction, thermal analysis, and battery management
systems. Approval for the grant speaks to the technology’s
feasibility and garnishes the non-parasitic electric vehicle (NPEV)
fast charging system with academia and enterprise credibility. The
Company believes it will open additional novel research
opportunities where this technology could branch out to many other
extensive applications.
The Canadian Federal government’s support will
allow the Company and OTU to pursue enterprise implementation of
the NPEV fast charging systems as well as any other related
programs over the next two years. The prototype will be a 50-kW,
NPEV fast charging system, covering areas including transportation
electrification, power conversion systems, material
characterization and fuel cell construction, thermal analysis, and
battery management systems.
“The teams that were put together for this
project have decades of R&D expertise in the areas of EV fast
charging, battery technology, e-mobility, renewable energy systems,
and hydrogen fuel cell technology. Our teams have been
retroactively working on this novel, high power, sustainable, NPEV
fast charging solution for the past several months. The tasks
involved and the potential end results make it a one-of-a-kind
project, not only within Canada, but also throughout North America.
The NPEV fast charger project will also, without a doubt, position
Canada at the forefront of e-mobility and smart grid development.
We look forward to the first fully functional system demonstration
at OTU within the next couple of months,” said Prof.
Williamson.
A number of NPEV fast charging systems have
already been requested from several Canadian businesses. As phase
one comes to a successful close, initial production can begin
within 60 days.
“We have been working very hard in making the
NPEV a reality and very soon we will be able to demonstrate its
true potential. This is just the first step in this two-year,
multimillion dollar partnership with OTU, which will see R&D
efforts from Worksport subsidiary Terravis Energy bring to market
some very exciting and innovative products, specifically designed
to achieve net zero emissions and make sustainability a way of
life.” said Lorenzo H. Rossi, CEO Terravis Energy.
